Review of the Eureka E20 Plus: vacuum and scrub with almost no maintenance

AND robot that can clean the entire house without any help or maintenance It is what all vacuum cleaner brands aspire to create today. One of those that is undoubtedly on the right track is Eureka, which after bringing us the great Eureka E10s at the beginning of the year, today dazzles us with the new E20 Plus robot vacuum cleaner which comes with several significant improvements.

It represents a leap over its predecessor, mainly due to its suction power and navigation technology. Has double the suction power and a new AI-based obstacle detection system which promises more efficient cleaning of your home. Below, we tell you all the changes and features of this robot, as well as our user experience.

Eureka E20 Plus: the complete review in Spanish

Like the E10s, The Eureka E20 Plus is an ecological robot vacuum cleanersince it does not use bags. Furthermore, it can not only vacuum, but also mop, but with some limitations. We leave you all its characteristics and then talk in detail about each of them.

Eureka E20 Plus specifications

What is the Eureka E20 Plus like?

The Eureka E20 Plus has the classic design of robot vacuum cleaners. It is completely circular, with three buttons and a navigation module at the top. Its high-quality plastic construction is excellent, especially for its matte black finish that looks very elegant. Its diameter is 35 cm with a height of 9.7 cm, so it is not as compact as other robots we have tested, but it is not very large either.

On the side, it has a removable dust and water tank. The brand does not specify how much this tank is, but it can store approximately 200 ml of dust and load about 220 ml of clean water for the mop. This deposit It has a washable filter to prevent fine dust particles from escaping and pollute the air. It is very easy to open and wash it, although you won’t have to do it every time because its self-emptying base is responsible for keeping it free of garbage.

On the bottom, the Eureka E20 Plus has two small rotating brushes to reach the corners, a central anti-tangle rubber roller, two large side wheels that allow you to overcome obstacles up to 2 cm high and a small central wheel that makes it possible for the robot to turn in any direction. There you will also see a cloth that acts as a mop.

It has a function that, When detecting a carpet, raise the mop about 10 mm to avoid getting it wet. It works well, as long as your carpet does not have long piles that exceed one centimeter in height.

When you buy the Eureka E20 Plus, you will also get a fairly compact charging and self-emptying station. It measures 44 cm high and 26 cm wide, so it takes up very little space. It has a very cool design that combines a Transparent plastic casing to see the level of accumulated garbage easilywith pink and black details. According to the manufacturer, it can store up to 1 and a half months of dirt (or the equivalent of 2 liters), but this depends on how dirty your house gets.

When the robot finishes cleaning or runs out of battery, returns to this station where it is automatically charged and emptied. Its emptying system is interesting because it uses a structure of 13 cones and centrifugal force to separate 98% of dust and garbage before they reach the filter. Keep in mind that it uses 5-stage filtration, with one of its filters (the one that catches dust that tends to escape) being easily accessible from the back of the station for washing.

How does the Eureka E20 Plus work and clean?

Undoubtedly, the best thing about the Eureka E20 Plus is its suction power of 8000 Pa. Few robots have left the floor of my house as clean as this one. Easily collects all the dirt generated in the daily life of a homesuch as hair, crumbs and anything else small in size that falls to the floor. Does an excellent job of sweeping and vacuuming!

Unfortunately, their scrubbing system doesn’t work so well. By simply having a damp cloth, It is not capable of removing stains or even minimally adhered dirt to the floor.. It only serves to wet a little and collect some more dirt, thus achieving a more complete cleaning. It is good for keeping floors spotless, but when there are stains, you will probably have to clean them separately.

Your navigation works well; It does not usually collide with walls, it avoids obstacles well, it correctly detects unevenness and its maps are precise. For this, it uses the new 3D DuoDetect AI system that is based on artificial intelligence, although the brand does not specify what role AI plays in this robot.

While it is true that it can get stuck on very high rugs or when trying to suck up trash that is too large for its nozzle, most of the time I didn’t have to help him at all. Furthermore, I was surprised that at night or in low light it continues to move just as well.

Obviously, its navigation system is not as intelligent as that of high-end robot vacuum cleaners, but He has fulfilled the expectations I had of him considering its price.

Another detail that I would not like to overlook is its 65 dB minimum noise. It’s a loud robot; If you use it with maximum suction power, the noise it makes becomes annoying.

The Eureka app is great: beautiful, easy to use and with many functions

Although it has three buttons on its body, I prefer to use the Eureka app to control it by itself. simple and attractive interface that allows easy access to all its functions. From it, you can see the battery level, receive low water alerts, save up to 4 different floor plans, define prohibited areas, schedule cleaning, update the robot and more.

Can the Eureka E20 Plus be used without the app? Yes, but for initial setup you need to connect it to the app. That being said, this app is used to integrate the robot with smart assistants like Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri to control cleaning with voice commands.
